It’s mad seeing all the comments from 3 year ago saying he’s gonna make it big and he did just that!! Raw talent

Why didn't anyone tell me David raps?? My man went in; one day we're gonna see him on the TV screen, stay blessed David

The passion makes it 100x better you can feel it

First time ive heard the pain in an artists voice. This is raw

Lyrically crazy lunatic. You're going to be big.

Hands down best blackbox

Always gotta come back and watch where he came from

I’ll never not revisit this… So visceral… So much pain and rage, eloquently expressed by a legendary artist in the making. Long Live Santan Dave.

2024 anyone?

The passion gets stronger throughout the video

2019 Who’s here

It’s tradition to watch this every once in a while

3:46 looking like he's about to cry you can see how much his shit means to him which is what separates him from most the trashy rappers these days absolutely sick 🔥🔥🔥

I always have to listen to this every now and again

9 years later on this day and still on loop 🤯 SANTAN THE 🐐🐐🐐

not even 15k views yet??? this is haaaard

Only OGS know about this before now

Who else is scared for Wale??? 3:13

The pain coming out his throat is unreal. Big up Dave 2016 your joints

Half dark, half light, get it for a calm price, hanging out the window like heath ledger in the dark knight gets me every time. 🔥 🔥

Wow I was going crazy looking for this video and when I finally found the link smh.

I remember my boy telling me to check this guy out a couple days ago, glad i just remember cuz this fully went in, shoutout Dave!!

2024 stand up. Who’s here now?

"movin like a mayan, holding back them years" bmt lyrics are genius

Crazy how far he’s came and this is still his hardest tune

Whos here doing one big throwback on dave's old songs, because of his number 1 album?? Well Done Dave, His blackbox being pure rage and conviction. He is the UK's most versatile artist at his age with ridiculous wordplay only more to come!!

2024 May anyone

Anyone listening in 2019????

Fighting fucking punch to punch I'll boot you in your face bruv I won't ever watch my darg fight The fuck you gonna tell me that you love me Gave my boys my square and they still tried to bump me That was way back, I had to switch the game up Now I got springs in my 110's, and springs in that... They gave my brother 18 for a fucking murder A knife crime, the lifetime, the whole sentence he's serving Now in my chest, my brother knows it's burning Them visits had me crying, had me whelping Had me taking pills to help it Looking, thinking who am I? Trust, you never knew this guy Grandma died, had my mother stricken, talking suicide Trust me I don't say that shit Why I never rate these kids My mum was on a madness You ain't never seen no pain like this I know you niggas feel this Brother putting on a brave face for the visit But I know my brother feels it And my brother don't reveal it, na My brother don't reveal it Take a life for my mother, my brothers don't wanna steal it But this track's got me on a rage My brother's stressed out, a man can see it in his face Like man can see it in his eyes, he's holding back the tears That judge moving like a Mayan, holding back them years They done my brother dirty Doing hard time, he didn't even do the dirties But I can't say much, 'cause certain man are snitches And certain man are bitches And certain girls are witches And Wale was a witness Put their shanks in my brother's back, how's that fair? Gave Scalez 16, and bruv he wasn't even there Case was all banter 'til junior got cancer And mums got sick, and tales got told And then the paint wore off, and true colors got shown And certain man go free, and all the real niggas don't So, shout out Lewis, and shout out Serge Now I'm rolling with an 'arghh' that will get man 'arghh' What? Like Wale, I'ma get you down A couple man they wanna get you, I'ma get you first I'ma get you last, and I'ma get you well And show you snitching motherfuckers just why you don't tell So how the fuck you gonna tell me that you hate me? When I was dead broke, they still bumped me on my AC's I've never had dough, them niggas laughed, they wouldn't rate me Now the trainers on my feet, are like minimum like 380 What? 'Cause I'm Prada boy now, I'm money boy now I'm piano boy now, I'm Mr. Duck a Man Down Mr. Fucking Stop Asking, how I get my P's in Asking for a bring in, none of you brought me in Brother fuck a fake friend, why you fucking riding for? I've got a couple people that I'd die for Ride out, lights out My brothers pulling strings from up in High Down To get you skied before the sky down, look at the sky now

2019, Dave listening to this makes you realise what he’s been through to get where he is now, will always be the coldest and realist in the game

donnys hard man, fully got me wishing his bro got probation

Mad to read all the comments saying he’s gonna blow now he’s got a no1 album in the uk.

Deserves a million views honestly❗️

I miss this Dave... one of hardest black boxes still in 2024 🔥

Raps with real emotion, looking forward to hearing new stuff from him, raw talent

Man was shaking at the end... That's how you know this was real rap.

I pulled this shit up like ten times before It got to da two minute mark. This shit is fire my nigga coming from Canada

June 2024....i have to see where all these started.....and oh my golly....the angst, the anger, the energy, the passion....the talent...mannnnn!!

The way he raps knowing that it’s all on the line is priceless. Just can’t be replicated now that he’s made it.

Dave dun went off 2 da next level like fr fr 💖 a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖 is what got them HUGE!

Goosebumps EVERY single time

Last minute is one the most raw emotional verses I’ve ever heard I’m ngl Dave a real street boy

Not all rappers deserve to blow and there is alot of luck involved. Dave was destined to blow no matter what. Pure talent.

9 years on and this still hits hard.

You’re a real one if you’re still here!

Till this day still a banger 🔥

I come back to this mostly everyday to remind myself of true rap. Dave is defiantly going places.

Just saw Dave in Bristol today I can honestly say he is humble respectful and nice. Mad respect to him remains true after he has made it, best man in the game., 🙌

Listened to this over 100 times. He's to live

This guy legitimately has lyrics that are way beyond his age and appearance, glad to know there are youths like me out there ! Present, and Future of grime right here ! Stay blessed Santan Dave

Hard bars Santan, Speaking the truth no exaggeration hard to find these days. Keep it up! You've earned my share & my boys 100%

Eminem- no apologies instrumental (your welcome)😏😉

2019 and still listening. Deserved of what he's got now - true talent.

If you deep it it's acc mad how fast this guy blew up. This was uploaded in 2015 deserves all the fame though 💯💯

2024 and still coming back to this. To where he is now is incredible

Goosebumps everytime. Real grime.

2019 and this is still one of the realist raps I ever heard glad to see this guys blown

Cam back here after all these years and blud was cooking heat since day 1. Proud to be someone who followed this man's journey

Dave rapping with that much passion like his life depends on it still hits me this does

Look what he is now, amazing. Number 1 debut album, lyrics that Eminem and Kendrick Lamar would be proud of.

Been listening to this for years every so often. Also just realised that he plays modie. Madness.

Even Dave didn’t believe he would go this clear

best blackbox ever. Dave is a genius
